Background History and severity of atopic dermatitis (AD) are risk factors for peanut allergy.
Recent evidence suggests that children can become sensitized to food allergens through an

assess whether environmental peanut exposure (EPE) is a risk for peanut sensitization and
allergy and whether markers of an impaired skin barrier modify this risk. Methods Peanut …
